Artemis Fowl (2020)
i watched the trailer before the film and wish that i didn't
The film is only set at what location, Based on the trailer some parts were missing from the film like the scene from the trailer that had a old woman become a young woman. I have not read the books so do not know the source material.
When the film got to the end I was expecting more, for instance was hoping for the boy to go on a adventure, not just stay at the house. For instance with seeing the agent instead of capturing, if the tree was an entrance to their world he could follow the agent in, or have a fight with the agent and fall in to the tree
Eye Candy (2015)
Glad that I didn't watch the trailer first
After hearing about this TV show through IMDb's similar suggestion on what I watch.
Without watching the trailer was good since it was like I was thrown into the deep end. I would recommend against watching the trailer And have a read through the plot and looking at the shows title picture.
The main key things that made me want to watch this is due to serial killer and hacking. Since just last night I watched 'Open windows', which i did do a review on.
My reaction to the first episode is slow, at first i thought that the group that was with Sara (Lindy's sister) I though they were the hackers but since Lindy said I use to hang out with them, proves some suspicion.
It is good how they was a backstory with 3 year later I believe it was. Another way it could of been introduced was as a dream that Lindy has re-living the experience.
I would recommend this series, and I am looking forward to watching the rest of the show.
Another thing to add is that there are stereotypes such as a IT help-desk 'George' with the size of him. I know this may sound rude but I have seen this stereotype is lots of TV shows and films.
Victoria Justice plays the main character Lindy, I have seen her on shows on Nickelodeon. She fits the role very well.
The Plot of a serial killer using a dating apps, seems very possible for it to be something that someone, somewhere is doing.
This show is beginning to remind me of 'The Mentalist' since 'Patrick Jane' used the police to track down 'Red John' and killed him.
If you enjoyed watching the mentalist, then this show might be down your alley.
Anyways, I have enjoyed the first episode, I thought that the pilot was gonna be an hour since when it was at 28 minutes, I though that 45 minutes had passed.
I do recommend this show to people that enjoy crime and technology based shows.
Open Windows (2014)
Similar to the video game Watchdogs
This film does have some plot twists however at the beginning made me want to stop the film due to the strange screenshot action.
Although I am glad that I watched it through. But then again I don't know , i didn't really enjoy this film.
BUT Don't let me put you off this movie, you might enjoy it.
looking at the trivia page it says that 'the movie was filmed in real time'
I did get the feeling that it was but there wasn't a clock that was displayed that much.
This review is short since I do not know what to say.
oooo I know, the actors ans actress were chosen well. with the main character seems to fit within the role well of someone who is shy.
Having the hacker group in another country, shows that you can be found.
The ending is relaxed but we are left in suspense since we do not get to see the true face of _______.
the main hacker guy that i cannot remember the name of.
the end where Jill closes the lid of the laptop to say okay you can go now bye, then it is the credits which have the effect that they are being hacked in.
I ill give the film credit on the visual effects
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Brilliant film Must See
Having multiple villains was a good idea. And linking in with the original spider man films due to the special projects area. Such as professor Octopuses arms.
Most of the film focuses on Elector or Sparky according to spider man. Then near the end there is the green goblin(Harry Osborn)then at the end the guy in the rhino robot. Not seeing the end of the fight was a good touch.
I expect that the next film will probably have like a documentary playing on the TV showing spider mans previous saves. And maybe someone getting close to spider mans identity. Since Gwen shouted "Peter" when she was webbed to the police car.
Perfect Sisters (2014)
Why would someone do this?
Killing your own mother. From just seeing the trailer I thought it was just a film them I realize that it is based of a true story.
At times I felt like I was going to cry but that would of ruined the movie.
2 sisters and some friends conspire to kill the sisters mother in a after school club. That is strange. the film showed what each idea of a death would look like which keeps you involved but it was the final idea. The scene where the sisters were killing their mother and the mother fighting for her life at trying to breath. After 4 minutes she is dead.
I would of thought that the sisters would of got caught in the film by a CCTV camera on the street or on the bus that is time stamped. Brought down by their friends who had a bargain to testify against them.
I did like this movie, however it was based of a true story which is upsetting.
At the end of the film it was good how they included things from the original story. I know that they might of changed some things in the film so that the sisters true identity's are protected.
Honestly what were they thinking. If you think you got a way with it, you slip up and lower your guard that is when you get caught. In this case getting drunk and high on drugs.
Non-Stop (2014)
breath taking
After seeing this films trailer a while ago. And have only been back home for less than a week from a holiday in America. I am glad this didn't happen on the plane I was on. It made me think, was there a air marshal on the plane I was on since it departed from Washington Dulles. Do they actually stay in first class like portrayed in the film?
When watching this I thought is was boring at first. When he got the text from the terrorist, first of all you had to read of the phone screen. However when the message was above the phone and bigger made it easier to see which was the point but was well used.
The action is the right amount. Not so much that you can't keep up but then not too less so that it is boring. When someone was recording it and uploaded it to YouTube. That would of probably of been what I would try to do in that situation.
The outcome of the situation when the plane landed. I thought that more police would be there. But during the flight finding out that piece of information about Liam Neesons character, would make everyone think he has lost it.
The people that I suspected was the flight attendants, co-pilot and the person NYPD person since he looked like he was acting strange.
Overall this is a great movie and I would recommend if you like action, hijacking, hostage thrillers.
Divergent (2014)
worth it to watch
From seeing the trailer a while ago. I forgot about this film then I saw the trailer on TV.
I haven't read the book so I can't compare the film against it.
The main character played by Shailene Woodley seemed strange seeing her since I am currently watching the secret life of an American teenager. In that see seems quiet but in the film she seems to have more courage. She played the role in this film very well and I can't really think of someone that would fit it better.
Although she isn't a main character Maggie Q. From being in Nikita, priest and die hard 4.0. She has different personalities but her kindness and taking care of another person in this film and in Nikita makes her perfect for being in this movie since she was helping Tris (Shailene Woodley) was good.
Overall I found this film good. And makes me think, could this actually happen. People being divided into factions and controlled. Although this is after a war that broke out.
I would like to do what the actors did, like jump out a moving train, jump off a building into a hole and land on a net. I known that most of the scenes use CGI and the fall isn't that far. If this was a real thing I would go in this faction just to have an adrenaline rush.
What would you do?
3 Days to Kill (2014)
Not as action packed as I thought
When I saw the trailer I thought that it was going to be more action packed and the daughter get more involved. But it still was a good film.
This was well structured as a film but it seemed to drag on a bit. At the end the sound proof room was a bit annoying but I was expecting the 2 people that were in there to walk out when the other people where fighting.
The reason why I only gave it 6 was due to 1) the main character seemed like it should of been played by Liam Neeson since I mainly see him as the bad ass kind of dad with his role in taken. 2) some of the fight scenes were kind of repeating each other.
Ender's Game (2013)
My thoughts of how the film was
WARNING AGAIN: !Spoilers!
Since I like action packed science-fiction films I like the film. But it really only depends on the viewer. I prefer to watch films than read the books, so I can't really compare story in the book with the film.
This film is a bit immoral by using teenagers to decide what happens in war. But isn't that really what the present day is like. Since most the games teenagers play are action packed. Such as call of duty and battlefield. If aliens were to invade, would the government use teenagers and say it is a game. Although that would be a good way but if you tell them it will probably cause them to go mental.
Now the overall quality of the film is good. However the scene where the camera goes past ender when he is looking out of the window. The window didn't blend in that well with the CGI.
In the evaluation game. Since the viewer was told at the same time as the teenagers. The impact was more intense. I was surprised that at first they were happy that they killed them but still they thought it was a game. When the connection gets restored, the characters were staring at the screen which again adds more impact. To be honest I felt like I was gonna cry when they said it wasn't a game.
How the film finished where he found the alien on the planet was abit strange, since wouldn't the people that are at the base check the surrounding buildings. When the alien touched enders face with its nail, i thought that the the screen would show how the alien lives and show its children. This would of given more of an impact.
The last scene when ender takes a ship and has the alien egg with him. I was thinking isn't he gonna run out of food? Is the egg gonna hatch and eat him?
I would like there to be another film but it might just be him on a planet and building a place for the aliens. His crew could come but the aliens might think that is a attack. Then again they could make a mini- TV series instead, ender and the alien is on a planet, using a gadget from the ship to create a building, then his old crew come and visit with supplies and building materials. It could be about 2 years in the future.
